While at the event, Chef Vikas Khanna addressed an enthusiastic group of children from Smile Foundation; educating them about the importance of planting trees and being one with nature. Donning his role as an author, he engaged with the children as he spoke about the importance of trees in our lives. Drawing references from his newly launched book, he encouraged them to imbibe one of the most important virtues of trees – the virtue of giving, and made them promise to become responsible young guardians of nature.

He commented, “For me trees have always been an inspiration as they teach us to give without expecting anything in return. So I’m happy to join Tropicana’s ‘Gift A Tree’ initiative that embodies a powerful thought of gifting back to nature. I’m excited to share this experience of planting trees with children from Smile Foundation who are our future generation. Through the story of ‘A Tree Named Ganga’, I’ve made an honest effort to help children understand the value of staying humble and the essence of giving.”

Tropicana’s Gift A Tree initiative aims to spread awareness about the importance of planting trees. The brand partnered with the ‘Rally for Rivers’ and grow-trees.com, and has pledged to plant over 25,000 trees. In the words of Vineet Sharma, Brand Manager – Tropicana, PepsiCo India, said, “Tropicana is closely linked to nature as all our products are made from the fruits of nature. We are delighted to have found like-minded partners in Chef Vikas Khanna and Smile Foundation, who are equally inspired by nature and believe in the spirit of ‘giving’. With Tropicana ‘Gift A Tree, we are taking a small step to gift trees back to nature and encouraging people to do the same.”

The event saw Chef Vikas Khanna plant trees with 250 children at Smile Foundation’s Aarohan – Mission Education Centre in Malviya Nagar, New Delhi. Children from Delhi International School and Health & Care Society – a Mission Education center of Smile Foundation, also joined on this occasion. The children were seen having a great time interacting with their favourite chef at the event.

While at the event, Mr. Santanu Mishra, Co-Founder and Executive Trustee, Smile Foundation commented, “Children are the future of our country. With their unprejudiced minds and unique way of seeing the world, they are a powerful resource to initiate social transformation. If we sensitize them about environmental issues from an early age, they develop positive habits that will make a lifelong difference to the environment. I am thankful to PepsiCo for this wonderful initiative and look forward to taking the message forward on a larger level.”

About Smile Foundation:
Smile Foundation is a national level development organisation directly benefitting over 400,000 children and their families every year, through more than 200 live welfare projects on education, healthcare, livelihood and women empowerment, in over 950 remote villages and slums across 25 states of India.
Education is both the means as well as the end to a better life: the means because it empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood and the end because it increases one’s awareness on a range of issues – from healthcare to appropriate social behavior to understanding one’s rights – and in the process help him/her evolve as a better citizen.

Doubtless, education is the most powerful catalyst for social transformation. But child education cannot be done in isolation. A child will go to school only if the family, particularly the mother, is assured of healthcare and empowered. Moreover, when an elder sibling is relevantly skilled to be employable and begins earning, the journey of empowerment continues beyond the present generation.

· They stress that there can be no development without good health
· Need to shift focus from ‘traditional healthcare’ to ‘well-managed healthcare’
· By 2030 non-communicable diseases will be 75% of the total disease burden
· Institutions must focus on effective, timely and safe medical care

Jaipur, November 17, 2017: IIHMR University, Jaipur, held a stimulating and high profile conference ‘Imagining Sustainable Futures’ on November 16-17, 2017. The conference was part of the University’s annual intellectual offering to the healthcare community called Pradanya. This was Pradanya’s 22nd edition which brought together some notable figures from the healthcare sector to ideate, debate and deliberate on the various challenges confronting the healthcare industry including public health and hospital management, development sector and pharmaceutical segments in both public and the private sector.
The conference was a huge success with more than 600 students of hospital and health management, executives and management professionals from private and government healthcare and social/development sector, in addition to doctors’ nurses, academicians, healthcare researchers, participating in it.

IIHMR University, Jaipur has created a niche for itself in high-quality research, education, and training in health, hospital and pharmaceutical management. It is recognized in national and international health circles for its outstanding work in the field.

Pradanya 2017, the much-awaited annual healthcare conference in the city, focused on the 5 ‘SMART’ issues — S for Sustainable Design And Healthcare, M For Managing Change in Disruptive Times, A for Analytics Mobility and the Cloud, R For Rurban (rural +urban) Challenges and Opportunities and T for Technological Innovation and Well Being.
Explaining the choice of themes for the conference, Dr Vivek Bhandari, President, IIHMR University said, “We chose ‘Sustainable Design And Healthcare’ because it is a concept that has proven its worth across a range of industries and has shaped important policy initiatives. ‘Managing Change in Disruptive Times’, is relevant as the world faces unprecedented global challenges caused by the parallel emergence of multiple disruptive forces. We included ‘Analytics, Mobility and The Cloud’ because of its potential, especially in clinical, financial and operational systems. ‘Rurban Challenges and Opportunities’ another important focus area of the conference exhorts us on creating smart people instead of smart cities. Technology, Innovation and Wellbeing, undeniably, need to be the future of healthcare sector.”

Pro-President, IIHMR University, Mr. P.R. Sodani, in his welcome address, stressed that smart, innovative and sustainable development is critical to transforming our lives and should be the focus of all our healthcare strategies.

Chairman, IIHMR University, Dr. S.D. Gupta underscored the fact that if people are not healthy, development cannot happen. There is a need to shift focus from “traditional healthcare to well-managed healthcare”, he said. Highlighting the key criteria for sustainable development Dr. Gupta said that while environment, social and economic conditions play an important role, the foundation of development is based on good health. “Non-communicable diseases are on the rise (by 2030 they will 75% of the total disease burden) because of behavioural and lifestyle changes. We need to keep this in mind while devising strategies for the future, he said.

Dr. Ram Narain, Executive Director, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital & Medical Research Institute who was the chief guest at the Conference, said, “The biggest challenge of the healthcare industry is to create a system which is affordable, fair, acceptable and adaptable. Healthcare has become very expensive in India; 17.3% of the nation’s GDP is spent on healthcare. At present, 25% of healthcare expenses are borne by the public system and the rest 75% by the individual which is often backbreaking. We need to narrow the gap and reorient and strengthen our healthcare system.”

Executive Director went on to add that India’s healthcare system is going through a transition. It is vital to handle the medical challenges through better infrastructure, governance, altered recruitment policies and better patient care. Institutions must be focused on effectiveness and delivering timely and safe medical care.”

Health experts and participants hoped that the host of ideas generated at the conference would be executed with the available resources, infrastructure, and technology in a sustainable manner.

Mr. Sandesh Kumar Sharma of the Organizing Committee of IIHMR University Jaipur proposed the vote of thanks.

http://thenewhunt.in/saral-designs-sells-over-1million-affordable-sanitary-pads-to-1-lakh-rural-women-in-12-months/#respondSun, 16 Jul 2017 06:07:53 +0000http://thenewhunt.in/?p=1240– Provides last mile accessibility to the rural women across 100+ villages, 2 urban slums and underserved regions of India
– Installed vending machines at 14 low income schools to provide young girls with an increased accessibility to menstrual hygiene
June 26, 2017, Mumbai: Saral Designs, a National Entrepreneurship award-winning healthcare start-up focused on promoting menstrual hygiene among rural India, today announced that it has sold more than 1 million sanitary pads in a span of 12 months reaching out to more than 1 lakh rural women across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Manipur and many more. With innovation in the product, production and local distribution the company provides access to high-quality ultra-thin sanitary napkins at an affordable price in the villages, through Sangini, a group of women healthcare workers. The company will expand its operations to other states including Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan and Gujarat this year.
Founded in 2015, Saral Designs commenced operations in 2016 and has designed potentially the world’s first compact, modular and automatic machine named ‘SWACHH’ that enables them to make ultra-thin sanitary napkins. The automation reduces human errors and keeps the production rate high to ~15,000 pads per day, reducing the cost of production. Further, decentralized production enables a reduction in distribution cost by almost 30% leading to an overall price reduction.
Commenting on this feat, Suhani Mohan, Co-founder and CEO, Saral Designs said “We are delighted to achieve this milestone in a short span of time. At Saral Designs, we believe that menstrual hygiene is the right of every Indian woman and we are committed to providing that last mile accessibility to high-quality pads. While innovation in technology and decentralized distribution have made the pad affordable by almost 50% as compared to a global brand, the percentage of first-time users of pads and our repeat buyers reaffirm the quality of our product. However, a vast majority of Indian women are still using unhygienic modes during their menstruation period. From our own survey in rural areas, we found the lack of awareness of hygiene, lack of accessibility and lack of affordability among the primary reasons discouraging rural women to switch to using sanitary pads. Hence, we are investing in awareness programs to address social challenges including taboo around menstruating women.”

As a part of its School intervention program, Saral Designs has installed vending machines across 14 low-cost schools across villages in Maharashtra. Additionally, during a survey conducted across 30 villages for over a year, Saral Designs observed that:
– About half of the total brand adopters were cloth rag users
– More than 90% of the buyers feel that easy accessibility at the last mile has helped them to use pads regularly
– Almost 70% users who switched from other brands believe the product quality was much better

“I hardly go to the town as I feel shy asking my family members to get pads for me. Hence, I had to use cloth. Now that Sangini didi sells pads in our village, it is very convenient for me. Now, I use Active Ultra pads only. I like the quality of pads too“, said Sapna Marade, a happy consumer and a repeat buyer in one of the villages.
Available to buyers on Amazon.in, Saral Design’s ‘Active Ultra’ pads have been designed keeping the Indian context in mind. As the brand’s underlying concept ‘Healthy Hamesha’ suggests, Active Ultra pads are long lasting with active NaPA gel technology; are UV sterilized and free of added colours or perfume for those with sensitive skin; have large wings to prevent leakage and have an ergonomic biodegradable disposal wrapper to solve for the disposal woes.

About Saral Designs
Started by a team of engineers from IIT and the winners of the National Entrepreneurship Awards 2016, Saral Designs, is a Mumbai based start-up, focused on promoting menstrual hygiene by providing increased access to high quality affordable sanitary napkins using a smart distributed manufacturing technology developed in-house.
Saral Designs was co-founded by Suhani Mohan, CEO and Kartik Mehta, CTO in the year 2015 with an aim to provide Indian rural women that last mile accessibility to sanitary napkins. The company commenced its operations in year 2016 and actively works with NGOs and a group of healthcare women workers called Sangini, to create awareness around menstrual hygiene.

~This is a one in a million case across the world, Says Dr. Biswa Panda~

Mumbai, 10thJuly, 2017: When 45 day old baby, Priyom was struggling to breathe in the ambulance that got him from Bhayander to Wadia hospital at Parel; his father who had received corporate CPR training performed life-saving CPR on his baby. This helped the baby to reach hospital in a stable condition. As a part of the emergency Team, led by Dr Biswa Panda, HOD, Peadiatric Cardiac Surgery, Wadia Children’s Hospital, a complex paediatric Heart Surgery was performed on the baby with a giant tumour in the heart.

Priyom is a resident of Bhayander, and was suffering repeated episodes of fever. Although he was taken to the local doctors for treatment, the multiple tests, medications and treatments did not resolve the fever. His condition kept worsening and as he needed ICU care, he was then shifted to another nearby local hospital. For 15 days, the baby was struggling with continuous fever, breathing difficulty and chest infection. As the baby’s condition kept on deteriorating, the parents decided to shift the baby to B J Wadia Hospital in Parel.

“Priyom was finding it difficult to breathe, on arrival at Wadia he was immediately rushed to the Pediatric ICU. He was then ventilated, stabilized and evaluated; as he was in a borderline condition multiple investigations had to be conducted. Initially, we suspected it to be a chest infection and antibiotics with treatment was administered accordingly. It was only after echocardiography test that the mass tumour was diagnosed on the left side of the heart,” said Dr Biswa Panda, HOD, Peadiatric Cardiac Surgery, Wadia Children’s Hospital.

Dr Panda added, “Immediately after detecting the tumour, the cardiology and surgical team were alerted. After interdisciplinary discussion and explaining the baby’s condition with the family members, they decided to go for an open heart surgery to remove the tumour mass. This tumour was initially considered to be a ball of blood clot or infection. This could be very dangerous as it could blend with the blood stream and enter the brain leading to complete paralysis.”

“During the surgery, we found that there was a large tumour in the left heart occupying half of the upper chamber, the left atrium. As the blood flow inside the heart was almost blocked, the baby’s condition kept deteriorating. The surgery took place for almost 6 hours, after removing the mass it was given for a pathological test for further investigation. The baby took nearly two weeks’ time to recover from the organ dysfunction caused by the tumour,” said Dr Panda.

“All credit goes to his father who bravely took the right decision and administered CPR to his baby who was struggling to breath. It helped the baby to reach the hospital in a stable condition. After which, the medical team took over the challenging case. The tumour was diagnosed to be a giant left atrial myxoma, it is very uncommon among adults. Giant myxoma in newborn babies is a rare entity and early intervention helps in saving the child” Said Dr Panda.

“Despite visiting so many doctors there was hardly any resolve, we are grateful towards Wadia and its efficient staff for their amazing contribution to bring our child back into good health,” said Rakhi, Priyom’s mother.

Dr.Minnie Bodhanwala, CEO, Wadia Children’s hospital, said, “ CPR is a life-saving technique that helps to maintain blood flow to the brain and heart, and increase time limit for patient till he reaches the hospital. Interdisciplinary team (our PICU, Medical team worked hard – went through meticulous investigations and clinical discussions) and its a great team work and coordination that we could come to diagnosis we are able to help little hearts like Priyom”.

In recent times, the ‘incredible’ country has grown to become the perfect spot for medical tourism. Patients from across the seven seas are coming to India to treat their medical conditions.

As Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says, “Yoga is not just exercise and asana. It is the emotional integration and spiritual elevation with a touch of mystic element, which gives you a glimpse of something beyond all imagination.” Yoga is a 5000-year-old Indian body of knowledge. Though many think of yoga only as a physical exercise where people twist, turn, stretch, and breathe in the most complex ways, these are actually only the most superficial aspect of this profound science of unfolding the infinite potentials of the human mind and soul.

Yoga, if performed accurately, in many studies has proven a complementary intervention for cancer, schizophrenia, asthma, and heart disease. The results of these studies have been mixed and inconclusive, with cancer studies suggesting none to unclear effectiveness, and others suggesting yoga may reduce risk factors and aid in a patient’s psychological healing process. Apart from treatment of diseases it also offers therapy that rejuvenates the body and mind from the ills arising out of the frictions of everyday life.

India being the home to this form of treatment offers many exciting therapeutic and rejuvenation packages. Quick Forex promotes experience in healing and rejuvenation through this ancient form run by India’s accredited centres with all modern amenities in natural settings to make your stay a memorable one.
